Please play Fate/Go with me.

"Look, Yukinoshita, no one else can see this." Shirou waved in that direction.

The other person's gaze remained fixed on the destroyed school wall, completely unaware that there were strangely dressed individuals waving at him.

"Phew... Well then, let's go somewhere where we won't attract attention." Yukinoshita finally calmed down a bit, stood up, grabbed Shirou's sleeve, and led him towards the grove of trees in the schoolyard.

Mashu quickly followed, and when they reached the grove, Yukinoshita stopped and looked at the pink-haired girl, saying:

“Then Mashu, please explain yourself! Since there was a reason for this, I won’t pursue the matter of you calling me here without my permission. But since I’ve been dragged into this, I have the right to ask about everything, don’t you think?” Yukino Yukinoshita said logically.

"I understand, senior," Mashu replied obediently.

Shirou also tried to smooth things over, saying, "Mash is doing this to protect everyone. After all, we can't just leave that kind of monster alone. Yukinoshita, don't be angry. Let's all sit down and talk things over."

"Shut up if you don't know the inside story! Anyway, even if a stubborn, nice guy like you knew there was danger, you would definitely rush in regardless of your own safety! And this time! You're the one who dragged me into this! Do you even realize that, Shirou-kun?" Yukinoshita seemed even angrier, giving the boy an extremely cold smile.

"Yes, I'm sorry." The boy had no reply and honestly bowed his head to admit his guilt.

Didn't we just say we wouldn't pursue this? This is a little scary. Where did that shy and cute girl go?

If he had known beforehand that his friend was Yukinoshita, he would definitely have chosen someone else. He also didn't expect that the assist he summoned wouldn't be a Heroic Spirit, but rather the person himself.

But then he thought about what would happen if a burly man dressed as Ushiwakamaru popped up on his phone, and Shirou covered his face in sorrow.

The boy, filled with respect, thought, 'Although I feel very sorry for Yukinoshita-sama, I look forward to your guidance in the future; consider this a continuation of the Service Club's work.'

Yukino saw Hikigaya bow his head and admit his mistake, and her anger finally subsided a bit. She also knew the seriousness of the matter and that she could not sit idly by. But before that, there was a question concerning her life and death that she had to figure out.

"First question, Mash, what will happen to me after I fulfill the wishes of the Heroic Spirits? Will I stay here? Or will I go back to where I came from?"

"Because Yukinoshita appeared as a friend's helper, she will be teleported back to where she was originally," Mashu explained.

"Is that so? That's good." With Mashu's assurance, Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense face finally relaxed.

“Now, Yukinoshita-senpai, please fulfill your wish first, and we can talk in detail later. If you don’t respond to a Heroic Spirit’s wish for too long, you may be punished. If you encounter a Heroic Spirit with a bad personality, the consequences will be terrible, like Marshal C, Gabriel, Kiyohime, etc…” Mash’s body trembled uncontrollably just from imagining it.

"Ah...it really is like that, the consequences are terrible." Shirou communicated with the will of Saint George within his soul, and fortunately, the request made by the other party was not difficult to fulfill.

As expected, even the heroic spirits in mobile games are still heroic spirits, and they are all terrifying beings.

"Yukinoshita, then hurry up and tell me what the Heroic Spirit wants," Shirou urged, but she seemed hesitant and evasive.

"I want to..." Noticing Shirou's gaze, Yukinoshita lowered her head and quickly whispered. Her current outfit was embarrassing, but the wish she was fulfilling was embarrassing in another way.

"What? You were too quiet, I didn't hear you. If Yukino doesn't explain clearly, I don't know how to help you," Shirou asked, puzzled.

"Ugh! I want someone like my brother to gently pat my head and praise me!" Yukinoshita cried out in despair, her face flushed.

"Ah...oh." Shirou was taken aback by Yukino's words. He hadn't expected the ice queen to make such an expression, let alone make such a cute request...

My mind wandered freely, imagining what it would be like to live with a younger sister like Yukinoshita. Then I thought about what it would be like if I weren't a younger sister, and suddenly I felt a little shy.

"Shirou! Are you going to do it or not?!" Yukinoshita glared angrily at the boy who had suddenly become shy. She was the one who should be shy!

"Okay! Leave it to me! I'm pretty good at patting heads." Shirou didn't dare to hesitate any longer and nodded in agreement, after all, he had a younger sister at home who liked to act cute and spoiled.

The boy reached out and placed his hand on the girl's head, feeling the smooth texture of her hair. He gently stroked it back and forth and said softly, "Alright, alright, good girl. That's amazing. Thanks to your help, we were able to protect the school."

"Waaah... This is so embarrassing..." Feeling the heat on her head, Yukinoshita's already flushed face turned even redder, her ears practically burning. At that moment, a white light flashed around the girl, indicating that the Heroic Spirit was satisfied.

"Forget everything that happened today!" the girl threatened the boy from the fluorescent light.

"Well, remember to keep in touch when you get back. Goodbye, Mr. Aipan's Snow Cat~!" the boy replied with a mischievous grin.

The fluorescent light on the girl's body shone brighter and brighter until it turned into particles and dissipated into the air, leaving only her school uniform jacket lying on the ground.

The boy stepped forward and picked up the clothes, still able to feel the lingering warmth and fragrance from the girl's tight embrace.

A moment later, my phone beeped with a message notification.

I opened my phone and saw it was a private message.

"Stand still and wait! I'm coming right now! And... forget everything that happened before! Everything!"

"They told me to forget, but these shocking images keep replaying in my mind," the boy said helplessly.

Every move the girl made before, her fair skin, her slender and smooth back—all of it surfaced in his mind with crystal clarity. Sometimes, having too good a sight isn't necessarily a good thing.

The boy hesitated for a moment, then wrote three words and sent them back.

Chapter 15 Visiting Yukino's House

At this moment, in a room of a high-rise apartment, a pale yellow lamp illuminates the living room. The sofa is empty, the television screen is black, and the spacious room is unusually quiet. Suddenly, a sound comes from inside.

"Splash!" Accompanied by the splashing sound of water, a girl's laughter came from inside, echoing for a long time.

After a while, the door inside opened, and the black-haired girl came out. Her cheeks were flushed from soaking in the bath for too long, her pretty face was rosy and glowing, and a slight warmth emanated from her body.

The girl in black stared at the words "Who am I?" on the phone inside the waterproof bag, and the image of the boy with amnesia flashed through her mind. Recalling the scene of being patted on the head earlier, a beautiful smile involuntarily curved her lips, and she felt her mood improve.

Although her previous experience was embarrassing, the thought of being seen by that person made her feel strangely happy, despite the shame. Yukino Yukinoshita didn't quite understand this odd feeling at the moment.

The room the girl had just left was still filled with a hazy mist, and water droplets dripped from the faucet, splashing everywhere and making a ticking sound.

The still-steaming bathtub, its surface which had just returned to calm, was once again rippled.

The girl thought for a moment, sent the message again, and turned to walk into the bedroom.

The girl lightly tossed her long hair, and her black hair swayed and flowed, exuding the sweet and sour scent of fruit shampoo.

Meanwhile, at the school.

"Alright, Shirou-senpai, stop playing on your phone. Hurry up and release your Heroic Spirit possession state too," Mash, the pink-haired junior, complained to Shirou.

“Yes, then Mash, come here for a moment.” Shirou beckoned the girl to come closer to him.

"What?" Mashu stepped forward in confusion.

“Yeah, make a V-sign like this,” Shirou said.

"Like this?" Mashu raised her hands as her senior had instructed, feeling somewhat ashamed.

"That's it, give me cheese~!" Shirou stretched out his hand and put it on Mashu's shoulder, pulling her to his side, while raising his phone with his other hand and pressing the shutter button! The boy and girl appeared on the phone screen.

So, Mr. Qiao's wish to take a picture was fulfilled, and Shirou's armor turned into fluorescent light, reverting to his original school uniform.

Unbeknownst to the boy, at the very moment the photo was taken, the transparent bar displaying the compatibility score of the other silver-haired, white-robed man's image in his mobile game surged with golden light, increasing from less than one percent to ten percent.

"Thanks, Mashu." Shirou, now back in his normal human form, smiled at his junior.

"It's nothing..." Mashu blushed as her shoulder was put on her arm. She thought to herself that she would never tell her senior that she was also thinking about improving her compatibility with him. When Archer Shirou returned and Saber Shirou was implemented in the gacha pool, that would be the day she could defy fate and become a lucky person with a fully upgraded gold card!

"Mail! Mail!" My phone vibrated again, another message from the girl: 'Let's meet at my place.'

“Indeed, there’s not much of a good place to talk around here.” Shirou said to the pink-haired girl after reading the message, “Looks like we’ll have to go find Yukino. Let’s go.”

"Huh? Oh..." Mashu blinked in confusion and followed Shirou out of the school gate.

After emerging from the alternate dimension, all the trees outside the school gate that had been burned were still intact, except for a large section of the school gate wall that had been severely damaged by the chimera.

After that, Shirou took Mash on the subway and arrived at the high-class apartment building where Yukinoshita lived.

"Senior? Where is this?" Mashu asked in confusion.

"This is where Yukinoshita lives." Shirou said as he walked into the apartment building. The girl lived here alone, and without outsiders to disturb her, it was indeed more suitable to talk about these private matters.

Shirou walked to the intercom system next to the apartment's security door, pressed the door number, and was quickly connected. A girl's somewhat cool and quiet voice came from the other end: "Yes?"

"Yo, Yukinoshita, we've arrived!" Shirou greeted the camera.

"Come in." The girl said and hung up immediately.

The tightly closed safety doors parted to both sides, and Shirou waved for Mash to follow him.

The elevator happened to stop on the first floor. Shirou and Mash walked straight in without looking around. They pressed the floor number button, and the green number above the elevator door kept rising until it stopped at number fifteen, at which point the door opened.

Yukinoshita lives in apartment number 7 on the 15th floor. It's just a few dozen steps to the right after you exit the elevator.

"Wait! Shirou-senpai, why are you so familiar with this?" Mashu asked with a look of surprise and doubt. How could she be so familiar with this, as if she were at home?

"No, I only came here once during the last school festival because of some things." Shirou said, stepping forward and pressing the doorbell.

And how can someone remain so calm and collected when visiting a girl's house? How many times have they had this experience? Twice, three times... or more than ten times!

Her image of Shirou-senpai was once again shattered and rewritten!

The door opened quickly, revealing Yukino Yukinoshita dressed in loungewear, a fluffy off-white long-sleeved shirt that revealed her fair neck and delicate collarbone...

"Please come in, Mashu, and that guy with the blank look on his face too," Yukinoshita said, opening the door and extending an invitation.

"Yes, Yukinoshita-senpai, sorry to bother you." Mashu replied obediently and went into the house.

"Oh..." Shirou followed her into the house, only then noticing the black ribbon tied around Yukinoshita's back and waist like a bow. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was an apron with a cat pattern. Her thick, dark hair shone like black pearls just emerging from the water, especially the slightly damp strands which seemed to sparkle under the light.

'Her hair is still wet, could she have just come out of the bathroom? That means I was taking a bath with her when Yukinoshita... wait... did I do something really awful?' Shirou's eyes widened, once again troubled by his own keen eyesight.

"You guys sit down for a bit and watch TV. I'll go make dinner first." Yukinoshita smiled and walked towards the kitchen, pulling a cleaver from the shelf, its blade gleaming coldly under the light.

Shirou's expression changed, and he rushed forward, snatched the kitchen knife from the girl's hand, and said with a smile, "I'll help!"

"..." Yukinoshita glanced at the boy as if he were an idiot, and then said, "Then I'll have to ask you to wash and chop the vegetables."

"Okay! Leave it all to me!" Shirou readily agreed. To save his life, he would be willing to cook here for the rest of his life.

Yukino took the broccoli out of the refrigerator and handed it to her.

Shirou reached out and took it, placing it on the cutting board. Holding the knife, he cut along the root section, first removing the tough parts, then with several flashes of the knife, he chopped the broccoli into small pieces, clean and crisp, leaving no crumbs. The broccoli was separated into evenly sized pieces, like lush green saplings.

Just then, Yukinoshita handed over the basin, the timing was perfect.

Shirou took it, used a knife to sweep the broccoli into the basin, turned on the tap, and rinsed it clean for later use.

When the boy picked up the knife again, Yukinoshita placed the beef on the cutting board.

With the knife angled slightly, the beef was sliced ​​into glistening pieces.

With their perfect teamwork, the preparations for cooking were completed smoothly and seamlessly.

"Wait! Senpai, why can you help cook so naturally at a girl's house?" Mashu, who had been staring blankly at the two of them because of their perfect teamwork, asked in surprise.

"Huh? It's pretty normal for classmates or juniors from the same club to come to my house to help make breakfast or dinner, right?" Shirou asked Yukinoshita with a puzzled look, because he didn't have many friends, so he always thought it was quite normal.

"What made your brain cells have the illusion that I could answer this question? But cooking with friends should be pretty normal, right?" Yukinoshita looked at Shirou with disdain and asked rhetorically. She didn't have many friends, so she didn't have any experience in this area, but she still had a lot of fun teaching Yuihama how to make sweets.

"Wait a minute! This is definitely not ordinary!" Mashu protested vehemently. What's wrong with these two? They're so in sync about things that demonstrate a complete lack of common sense! Even androids know these things, so why don't these two know them?

Chapter 16 Leonardo da Vinci makes his appearance

In a luxurious apartment, the range hood was running, and the young man was tossing a wok over the stove, preparing dinner.

At first, Shirou was just a helper, but while they were working and chatting, Shirou simply praised the girl's cooking skills, which somehow aroused Yukinoshita's competitive spirit.

They insisted on dragging the boy into a cooking competition. The boy and girl stood on either side of the stove, each preparing a dish.

The hot oil sizzled and smoke rose. After about ten minutes, the dish was placed on a plate with a cat pattern and served on the living room table.

Shiro made a Chinese-style stir-fried beef with radish, and Yukinoshita made broccoli with pan-fried steak. There was also a tofu miso soup with bonito flakes and kelp in the pot, which smelled of soy products. It was not only delicious, but also nutritious.

"Referee, please have some," Shirou said, handing the bowl and chopsticks to Mash.

At that moment, Yukinoshita also stared at Mashu, anticipating her judgment.

"I understand. Let's start the tasting now." Mashu seemed to be infected by the atmosphere as well. She carefully took off her glasses and put them away, glanced at the two seniors, and nodded.

The chopsticks first reached for the cut steak. The dark red steak was pan-fried until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you bit into it, the juices inside would burst out of your mouth. The tender beef and the flavorful juices combined to completely satisfy the human's carnivorous instincts.

Then pick up a piece of bright green broccoli, dip it in the steak sauce, and put it in your mouth—it's refreshing and tender.

It was as if we were riding a cow, strolling on a green meadow on a mountain, the cow's hooves treading on the flowers, attracting butterflies to flutter around us.

Mashu's appetite was completely whetted, and she devoured the entire plate of steak with broccoli.

"Yukinoshita-senpai's cooking is delicious! Even a professional chef probably couldn't surpass it," Mashu exclaimed with great satisfaction.

"Thank you for the compliment," Yukinoshita said with a smile, giving the boy a smug look. Ever since Shirou proved to be more skilled than her when she was teaching Yuihama to cook, she had secretly practiced, vowing to win back her victory.

“Then next is Shirou-senpai.” Mashu looked at another plate of stir-fry, which was also fragrant. The white radish was crystal clear and layered with slices of beef, which looked very beautiful.

But she had already fully satisfied her cravings for both meat and vegetables with the previous dish. Even though the delicious taste was still lingering in her mouth, could she still properly savor the next dish?

With this question in mind, Mashu picked up a slice of radish, wrapped it around the beef, and took a bite. The girl's doubts vanished instantly.

This is incredibly delicious. The sweetness of the radish and the tenderness of the beef fill the mouth instantly, like a refreshing stream that washes away the richness of the steak and the crispness of the broccoli.

This is the taste the girl longs for. She had eaten the same dish at Chaldea before, but the cooking of the Heroic Spirit Emiya-senpai was perfect, reaching the pinnacle of home cooking. And now, it seems that this dish has added a touch of 'happiness' to that pinnacle.
